Sowing and Reaping

Putting on airs

to hide lonely stares

You know you look good

   and you're better than us

And your voice shines like silver

   so you enjoy all the fuss

Act tough enough

No one calls your bluff

You take what you want

   or you think you deserve

And then scoff at the hurting

   with little reserve

You hide in your act

And forget what you lack

Your beautiful wife

   can't begin to compare

With your unreal desires

   of fanciful affair

A lost soul you keep

For a price far too steep

You'll want what you've lost

   those you've put at arms length

When you realize the cost

   in your sense of false strength
